Shy-Diapers Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 "We could move a dresser into our closet I think. Really everything in there that isn't hanging up is just junk like shoeboxes and things like that. I think we can squeeze a small desk in here. I don't want to have to go into Katie's room every time I need something from the dresser, and I'm sure she wouldn't appreciate it very much." Paula suggested. She sighed. "I wish we would've gotten more of a heads up." Katie had art class this period, and in the middle of class, she got sent to the principal's office because of what she drew. The assignment had been to draw a flower, and Katie had drawn a black scenery wth dark clouds and a lot of just plain out darkness. Katie's defense was there was a flower amidst the dark pencil lines. It was around this time, 9 AM that the landline started ringing, it was Katie's school asking her parents to come in.

Ishigreensa Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share Posted November 13, 2016 "I do wish we had gotten a heads up, too," Jason agreed. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 "Hi, is this Katie's father? This is Mrs. Rodriquez, her principal." The woman on the other end of the phone said. "Well, I have Katie here in my office after she got sent here by her art teacher for being uncooperative and arguing with her teacher. Could you come down to the school please?" Link to comment
Ishigreensa Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share Posted November 13, 2016 Jason refused to believe she would just argue with a teacher for no reason. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Paula sighed. She finished getting dressed and got her coat and shoes on. "I don't know. With the way she's been acting lately I wouldn't put it past her to get into trouble." She said. Link to comment
Ishigreensa Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share Posted November 13, 2016 "Let me ask you this," John asked before deciding what to say to Katie. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 "I told the class the assignment was to simply draw a flower. Everyone else in the class drew just a flower." The art teacher said. "Nobody else drew anything more. Regardless, she didn't need to start arguing with me." Katie sighed and slumped further in her chair. She did the assignment correctly. "She said to draw a flower. I drew a flower." She said pointing to the small flower on the paper. "I pointed it to her and she didn't approve." She said with a shrug. She was about to walk out of the room. She was so stressed and didn't need this anymore. She moved a small piece of hair out of her eye. Link to comment
Ishigreensa Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share Posted November 13, 2016 Jason agreed that she shouldn't have back talked, but he still felt that the teacher was being unfair. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Katie shrugged her dad's hand away. She hasn't back talked anyone. She simply said she did draw a flower and the teacher was getting on her case, she defended herself rather than let the teacher chastise her for something she didn't do wrong. Link to comment
Ishigreensa Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share Posted November 13, 2016 Jason turned on Paula and he whispered. "Paula, this is not doing any good for our picking up the new kid," he said. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 "I'm not going to let her get away with this." Paula shot back at her husband. "I won't bring it up for now but there will be serious consequences if it happens again." The teacher had intended on adding on top of the assignment having the kids draw other things such as houses or trees or whatever, but Katie made it unable to do that for her picture. Link to comment
Ishigreensa Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share Posted November 13, 2016 (It might just be me, but if she had enough time to draw a stormy sky and other things around the flower so it was hidden, then the teacher seemed to be going really slow, treating them like little kids, but it might just be me). Jason nodded. "I agree that she shouldn't be back talking her teachers. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 "Yeah that's fine." Katie said. She was usually pretty quiet aside from her music, but recently she'd taken to just using headphones rather than her stereo. Plus, she never really talked to her friends on the phone. Link to comment
Ishigreensa Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 The hour didn't take long to come around, and Jason started to call to everyone to get to the car. "Let's go!" he called out to the ladies. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Katie came down the stairs with her headphones still in. She climbed in the car silently. Link to comment
Ishigreensa Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 Jason shook his head thinking that criticizing the girl about everything wasn't going to help the situation. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Paula rolled her eyes at her husband a little. "Teenager or not I think she would wear something a little more decent when going somewhere important." "Yeah I know Dad." She said with a sad sigh. She felt kinda depressed at the moment, but wasn't really sure why. Link to comment
Ishigreensa Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 "Well, she does look decent to me," he said. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Paula shook her head and dropped the subject. Link to comment
Ishigreensa Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 The drive to the airport was just under two hours. Finally, Jason pulled into a parking spot and he gathered everyone together to get ready to go and meet the new kid. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Katie shrugged her dad's Link to comment
Ishigreensa Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 Bo Mi looked up at the woman. "Yes?" she said. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 "I'm not five dad!" Katie said angrily. She pushed his hand off once again and picked up her pace. She knew better than to wander off, so she didn't see why her father made a big deal about her getting lost. Link to comment
Ishigreensa Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 Jason sighed and walked with his daughter feeling a little upset that she didn't understand that he was just protecting her, and that it had nothing at all to do with him thinking she might wander off. Bo Mi looked up at the nice lady. "I am nice to meet you," she said. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 "Yes. You're gonna stay with us from now on." Paula said, hoping the girl understood her. "Bathroom? There's one right there." She said pointing to the pictured signs not that far away. Link to comment
